Cam 20 TASK 1 (TABLE): POPULATION GROWTH IN NEW YORK
  |
Sample answer
The table displays data about the total population figures in New York City and its five districts over the period between 1800 and 2000.
Overall, the population number in New York City rose precipitously during a period of two centuries, a pattern reflected in the population growth of the four remaining districts combined, namely Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island combined. Manhattan, on the other hand, saw a rising population figure in 1900 before a moderate fall by the end of the timeline, a trend that led to a declining share of this district, which was matched by a reciprocal rise in the proportion of other combined ones.
New York City (NYC), consisting of five distinct districts, registered 79,216 inhabitants in 1800, a figure that increased manifold a century later, reaching 3,437,202 citizens. This population figure then more than doubled to peak at just over 8,000,000 in 2000.
The rise in NYC’s population number was largely matched by those of its districts. Manhattan, recorded 60,515 people in 1800, which accounted for more than three quarters (76%) of all NYC inhabitants, leaving the reciprocal figure for other districts at 24%, with the corresponding population of 18,701 urban residents. From 1900, a reverse pattern emerged between Manhattan and the others. While the figure for the former declined moderately to 1.5 million people over a century, that of the latter nearly quadrupled to 6,471,089 during the same period. The corresponding percentages also showed some level of similarity. Manhattan more than halved from 54% to 19% whereas Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island nearly doubled, going from 46% to 81%. These changes suggested the falling dominance of Manhattan, thereby giving priority to the four other districts combined.
